The President of the Ghana Pentecostal and Charismatic Council (GPCC), Apostle Eric Nyamekye, who also serves as the Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, has called on the leadership of all churches in Ghana and worldwide to make deliberate efforts to unite.
He made this clarion call on Friday, August 30, 2024, during the All Ministers and Wives Conference (Western Regional session) held at the Assemblies of God, Word of Life Auditorium, Takoradi.
Apostle Nyamekye illustrated the positive impact of unity in the body of Christ. Whilst comparing the effects of divisiveness, he invited the President of The Apostolic Church Ghana, Apostle Dr. Aaron Ami-Narh, and the Chairman of the Christ Apostolic Church International, Apostle Samuel Frimpong, to join him on stage.
The GPCC President explained that the three churches – The Apostolic Church Ghana, Christ Apostolic Church International, and The Church of Pentecost – are all descendants of the Anim-McKeown church operations. However, the misunderstandings that led to the splits had greatly hurt the cause of the gospel.
He thanked God that after many years, they have settled their differences and decided to work in unity.
Chairman Nyamekye took the opportunity to call on churches worldwide to end all forms of rivalry and unite to properly pursue the mandate that God has given them. According to him, denominations are just strategic ways of reaching all kinds of people. Therefore, denominations should not divide the Church into factions because they are all one people in Christ Jesus.
Apostle Nyamekye also cautioned ministers against whipping up sentiments, especially religious sentiments, in the run-up to the 2024 general elections. He admonished prophets who receive revelations about the outcome of the impending elections to desist from publicly declaring them to prevent chaos.
Present at the service were Rev. Stephen Wengan (General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, Ghana) and Bishop Emmanuel Botwe (Christian Faith Church International), both National Executive Council Members of the GPCC.
Others included Apostle Immanuel Tettey (General Secretary of GPCC), Apostle Sylvester Arhin (Executive Council Member, The CoP), and Rev. Yaw Osei Dankwa (General Secretary, CACI), among others.
